My research is based at the intersection of security studies and international political economy, focusing on conceptions of (in)security in global finance. This includes theories of money, debt, value and collateral, informed by a socio-political perspective grounded in the technicalities of modern finance.

I hold a PhD in Politics from Lancaster and have worked at the Peace Research Institute Oslo (PRIO) for 8 years, leading a work package on Financial security in the EU FP7-funded Societal Security Network (SOURCE) and organising interdisciplinary PhD courses at the Research School on Peace and Conflict (eg Contemporary conditions of critique: Power, value(s), economy).

I was part of the Management Team of the COST Action System risk, financial crisis & credit from 2010-2014, leading a working group on Credit, and organised the Research Council of Norway-funded Workshop series Understanding ‘financial security’ in an age of uncertainty (2009-2011). For the NordSTEVA Centre I ran the workshop Exploring the Cashless Society in 2018.
